text_original: In the East the claims of the Papacy were resisted, not only by the Patriarch of Constantinople, who as Bishop of New Rome claimed to be the equal of the Bishop of Old Rome, but also by the emperors, who asserted their right to exercise over the Church the same autocratic authority that they exercised over the State. The Eastern and Western Churches drifted apart, and before the end of the ninth century the separa  tion was almost complete.
